Declaration for the Animals

Scientific research based on the causing of deliberate pain and death on non-human animals has no place in a civilized and truely evolved society.

The legal system of this country (U.K) has failed to properly protect the well being and rights of non-human animals.

Oxford University is held responsible for the deliberate and calculated acts of causing pain and death to non-human animals.

Oxford University has deliberately used its influence and power to frustrate and gag all legal avenues open to those opposing animal suffering at the university.

The building of this new animal research laboratory by Oxford University, known as Halifax House within which they plan to breed, house and experiment on non-human animals for outdated, unscientific and morally unjustifiable experiments, represents a retrogade step both in terms of ethics and science.

It is our intent to fight against the building of this animal research centre and against those who try to silence us, with the knowledge that while it remains unfinished no animal can suffer and die inside it.

It is our intent that if completed then Halifax House will become the biggest weight around the neck of the university than it could ever have believed possible, because as every single brick is added to that building our resolve against it increases tenfold.

It is our intent that if Halifax House is completed then our aims will be to change the use of this building from an animal research and abuse centre, to a place where no animal will suffer, be brutalised or be experimented on.

It is our intent that as long as this building poses a risk to the well being of non-human animals, then those who are dedicated and believe in justice will continue to fight against it.

If no one else will act to protect the well being and rights of non-human animals, then we will.
